After existing orally for hundreds of years, Sunjata was written down in the 20th century. David Conrad, who recorded a new version of the epic, has now crafted a prose translation that preserves the oral flavor of live performance. The result is a captivating work of literature that will finally give the story of Sunjata its welldeserved place among the great epics of world literature.'Martin Puchner, Byron and Anita Wien Professor of Drama and of English and Comparative Literature, Harvard University
